The Laputans, though they are great thinkers, are not efficient because:

• They don't put their knowledge to practical use

• They never start a project

• they are lazy

• they use the people of Balnibarbi for servants

Gulliver concludes that living forever is not so desirable because he:

• would become ill forever

• would get bored

• would run out of money

• sees what the Struldbrugs have become

The people of Balnibarbi are not poor workmen. They follow the Laputans' plans because:

• the Laputans are smart

• they can't draw up their own plans

• if they don't, the Laputans will bomb them with stones

• all of the above
